We propose a LLR (log-likelihood ratio) selection combining technique that reduces much of complexity. This technique chooses the most reliable branch based on the magnitude of the LLR of each branch. We show that the proposed selection combining achieves significant power gains over conventional selection combining and nearly matches the performance provided by MRC.

In this paper, exact closed-form expressions for outage probability and bit error probability (BEP) are presented for multi-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relaying schemes in conjunction with cooperative diversity, in which selection combining technique is employed at each node. We have shown that the proposed protocol offers remarkable diversity advantage over direct transmission as well as the conventional DF relaying schemes with the same combining technique. We then investigate the system performance when different diversity schemes are employed. It has been observed that the system performance loss due to selection combining relative to maximal ratio combining is not significant. Simulations are performed to confirm our theoretical analysis.

This paper provides new exact-closed form expressions for average SER and average BER as well as outage probability for M-PSK signaling with selection combining over independent but non-identically distributed Rayleigh fading paths. The validity of these expressions is verified by the Monte-Carlo simulations. All of numerical results are in excellent agreement with simulation results.

This paper applies transmit antenna selection algorithms to spatial-temporal combining-based spatial multiplexing (SM) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The employed criterion is based on the largest minimum output signal-to-noise ratio of the multiplexed streams. It is shown via simulations that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the SM UWB systems based on the two-dimensional Rake receiver is significantly improved by antenna diversity through transmit antenna selection on a log-normal multipath fading channel. When the transmit antenna diversity through antenna selection is exploited in the SM UWB systems, the BER performance of the spatial-temporal combining-based zero-forcing (ZF) receiver is also compared with that of the ZF detector followed by the Rake receiver.

애드혹 네트워크에서는 협동 다이버시티를 적용하여 네트워크의 전력소모를 줄이고, 통달거리의 확장 및 시스템의 성능을 향상시키고 있다. 그러나 가장 큰 신호 대 잡음비(SNR, Signal-to-noise ratio)을 갖는 릴레이를 선택하여 송신하는 선택 릴레이 협동 다이버시티 방식은 느린 페이딩 채널에서 특정 릴레이가 계속 송신하므로 네트워크의 생존시간을 줄이게 된다. 그러므로 최근에 네트워크의 생존 시간을 늘이기 위하여 균일전력 릴레이 선택방식이 연구되었다. 본 논문에서는 소스-릴레이 및 릴레이-목적지간의 수신 신호 대 잡음비가 일정수준 이상이 되는 릴레이를 선택하여 송신할 수 있는 하는 이중 기회전송 협동 다이버시티(DOT, Double opportunistic cooperative diversity) 시스템에 균일전력 릴레이 선택방식을 적용하고 시스템의 성능을 유도하였다. 유도한 결과는 선택결합(SC, Selection combining) 방식과 최대비 합성결합(MRC, Maximal ratio combining) 방식과 비교하였다. 균일전력 릴레이 방식을 사용하였을 때 다른 방식에 비해서 시스템의 성능저하가 있었는데, 이는 네트워크의 생존 시간을 늘이기 위해서 릴레이에 균일한 송신기회를 주었기 때문으로 해석되었다.

The performance of dual diversity receivers operating over correlated Ricean fading channels is analyzed. Using a previously derived rapidly converging infinite series representation for the bivariate Ricean probability density function, analytical expressions for the statistics of dual-branch selection combining, maximal-ratio combining, and equal-gain combining output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are derived. These expressions are employed to obtain novel analytical formulae for the average output SNR, amount of fading, average bit error probability, and outage probability. The proposed mathematical analysis is used to study various novel performance evaluation results with parameters of interest the fading severity, average input SNRs, and the correlation coefficient. The series convergence rate is also examined verifying the fast convergence of the analytical expressions. The accuracy of most of the theoretical performance evaluation results are validated by means of computer simulations.

In this paper, we compare the classification performances of both ensemble and clustering algorithms (Data Bagging, Variable Selection Bagging, Parameter Combining, Clustering) to logistic regression in consideration of various characteristics of input data. Four factors used to simulate the logistic model are (1) correlation among input variables (2) variance of observation (3) training data size and (4) input-output function. In view of the unknown relationship between input and output function, we use a Taguchi design to improve the practicality of our study results by letting it as a noise factor. Experimental study results indicate the following: When the level of the variance is medium, Bagging & Parameter Combining performs worse than Logistic Regression, Variable Selection Bagging and Clustering. However, classification performances of Logistic Regression, Variable Selection Bagging, Bagging and Clustering are not significantly different when the variance of input data is either small or large. When there is strong correlation in input variables, Variable Selection Bagging outperforms both Logistic Regression and Parameter combining. In general, Parameter Combining algorithm appears to be the worst at our disappointment.

Cooperative transmission is an effective solution to improve the performance of wireless communications over fading channels without the need for physical co-located antenna arrays. In this paper, selection combining is used at the destination instead of maximal ratio combing to optimize the structure of destination and to reduce power consumption in selective decode-and-forward relaying networks. For an arbitrary number of relays, an exact and closed-form expression of the bit error rate (BER) is derived for M-PAM, M-QAM, and M-PSK, respectively, in both independent identically distributed and independent but not identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. A variety of simulations are performed and show that they match exactly with analytic ones. In addition, our results show that the optimum number of relays depend not only on channel conditions (operating SNRs) but also on modulation schemes which to be used.

This paper considers the effects of simultaneous correlated multipath fading and shadowing on the performances of a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR)-based dual-branch selection combining (SC) diversity receiver. This analysis includes the presence of cochannel interference. A generalized fading/shadowing channel model in an interference-limited correlated fading environment is modeled by generalized-K distribution. Closed-form expressions are obtained for probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the SC output SIR, as well as for the outage probability. Based on this, the influence of various fading and shadowing parameter values and the correlation level on the outage probability is examined.
